At Simpson’s in the Strand, chess has long been part of the fabric of the house. In the 19th century, players gathered here beneath the chandeliers to test nerve, judgement and patience over the chess board, making Simpson’s one of London’s great homes of the game. Yet our interest in chess extends beyond history.
Join us on Sunday 6 December for the next instalment of our chess event, hosted by international concert pianist and chess enthusiast Jason Kouchak, alongside British Chess Grandmasters Stuart Conquest and Luke McShane.
Whether you’re ready to take your seat at the board or prefer to watch the masters at work, we look forward to welcoming you.
Player tickets (£75) are strictly limited to 12 places. Both player and spectator (£25) tickets include a cocktail on arrival:
The Immortal Game.
Make an evening of it. Guests attending the chess evening are invited to enjoy 25% off their meal at Romano’s, either before or after the event.
To reserve a table, please email romanosreservations@simpsonsinthestrand.co.uk
How are Jeremy King’s chess skills? Some of us may be about to find out.
Join us at Romano’s every afternoon, 3–6pm, for a game of chess. We’ll supply the boards; you bring the moves. Bring a friend, settle in with our Grand Café menu, cocktails and wines, and enjoy a little friendly competition. All abilities welcome — the more players, the merrier.
